Strong's Lexicon ballahah: Terror, Dismay, Sudden Fear Original Word: בַּלָּהָה Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּלַל (balal), meaning "to mix" or "to confuse." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, similar concepts of fear and terror can be found in Greek words such as φόβος (phobos, Strong's G5401) meaning "fear" or "terror." Usage: The Hebrew word "ballahah" conveys a sense of sudden terror or dismay, often associated with divine judgment or overwhelming fear. It is used to describe a state of panic or alarm that seizes individuals or groups, typically as a result of God's intervention or the unfolding of catastrophic events. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, fear and terror were often seen as manifestations of divine displeasure or as omens of impending doom. The Israelites, living in a world where natural disasters, wars, and divine judgments were common, would have understood "ballahah" as a profound and unsettling experience, often linked to the fear of the Lord or the consequences of sin.
